Well initially I bought it to act as a mesher for Rhino.
Needless to say that MOI and Michael are geniuses. The edit frame is awesome, the way blends are handled are fantastic, selecting curves/edges is great, construct lines are phenomenal.....overall what a strong foundation. Simply genius even in its current early builds.
I think in its later iterations and with a few more surfacing tools MOI will become the Sparta of nurbs!!!

When is the projected timeframe release of V2?
Is it considered a paid release or a free existing customer upgrade?

Several of those things like the edit frame and selection are pretty addictive... Pretty soon you may be wondering how you lived without them before. :)

> When is the projected timeframe release of V2?

Well, I had hoped that it would be out already by this time... But some pieces took a while longer to finish that I had thought they would.

It is getting pretty close to the end though, hopefully I can wrap it up within the next 2 months.

> Is it considered a paid release or a free existing customer upgrade?

It will be a paid release, the base price for v2 will be going up to US $295, and there will be an upgrade license available for v1 owners for US $100 (which is the difference in price between v1 and v2).
